In the large cities in North America there are many wonderful hospitals and each year partly to raise goodwill and asking for donations; some of them publish a magazine with a few of the many new procedures taking place at the hospital. The stories are heartwarming, some great leaps forward from even a few years ago and raise expectations of the hospital. A number of months ago, visiting one of the hospitals on a regular basis and seeing these abilities to test and treat the patient are amazing. The quality of care which was run into was tremendous and from a personal satisfaction level, one could not ask for anything better. When reading these types of magazines, the heart warming stories are the most important, the second aspect is ask yourself what type of machines and procedures are the doctors using to do the new procedures?With the asking, you will begin homework to see if the machines are standard to all hospitals? are the machines continually used or generating revenue? are the companies investable? What you typically will see is some interesting hospital procedures done with parts of large company, for example GE. The company is a very large one, the revenues of the health care sector are important but GE is not just a health care company.

Linking to dividend paying companies, the large companies similar to GE allow the ability to invest into the health care sector, but that is not their only business. There are many companies in the health care sector, and everyone expects the health care sector to gain in size – partly because of demographics. The baby boom from the 1950 and early 60’s is beginning to retire and expected to live longer. If you listen to a small town radio – birthday and anniversaries the number gets higher every year or in general we are living longer. In terms of the health updates of the hospitals, if you have relatives or you begin to visit them more often, after the goodwill and hospital visit with the people, look around to see opportunities for investment in the health care field.

There are more questions than answers, till the next time – to raising questions
